BUTTERED LIMA BEANS SERVES 6 to 8 This recipe for lima beans is a favorite Pennsylvania Dutch side dish that can be made with fresh, frozen or even dried lima beans. Follow package directions for cooking dried beans. Fresh limas will take about 40 minutes to cook, depending on their size. We usually use frozen lima beans because dried take a long time to cook and fresh are rarely available except when in season at local produce stands or markets. Frozen lima beans, like frozen peas and corn, are almost as good as fresh. INGREDIENTS 2 packages (16-ounces each) frozen lima beans Salt and pepper to taste 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Place lima beans and about 1 cup lightly salted water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly; add butter, additional salt and pepper. Return to a very low burner for about 5 minutes to melt and combine the butter.
